Summary
👤
SeniorDavid Briggs is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating scalable, secure systems, currently ensuring the availability of core cryptographic infrastructure at Google. A University of Waterloo CS graduate, he transitioned from software engineering to SRE and brings deep hands-on experience across cloud-native architectures, containers, and distributed systems from roles at Google, Splunk, OpenText, and several startups. He has engineered high-impact solutions such as 20x API speedups via caching, container orchestration and service discovery abstractions, and AI model training deployment pipelines that emphasize secure, easy-to-manage infrastructure. Comfortable across languages and platforms (Scala, Python, GRPC, Redis, AWS, Kubernetes), he combines pragmatic system design with a focus on reliability and operational excellence. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex technical tradeoffs into practical, documented designs and automated solutions. Based in Waterloo, he pairs enterprise-scale SRE rigor with startup agility and a continual curiosity about complex systems.
